the only thing that is in this plan that marco rubio doesn't like is obama. as a general rule, this is a plan to move forward. >> sir, quickly, though, i want to show everybody the comparison so we can see them side by side from what's coming from the white house and what's coming from the senate. from the white house the protective visa, eight years to citizenship, more border security funding, employer requirements. as we see from the senate side the big glaring thing that stands out to me is there is no timeline for citizenship, ties border security to citizenship, and do you think when we talk about border security that that should be a separate entity while we talk about 11 million people who are in this country currently hoping to become legal americans that that should not focus how to process those that already are here and work about border security in a different passion and through a different piece of legislation? >> clearly that's where we have been and we have been working on this for a long time but this sort of shows you just how broken washin

when barack obama says you know what? we're going to fix this by raising taxes yet again, barack obama and nancy pelosi and the democratic party are out of touch. now, listen. i've been spending the past four years saying the republican party is out of touch, and they're going to lose the presidential election because of it. and i was right. republicans. now, let me say to democrats. you're out of touch. you've got a spending problem. medicare is a problem. and if you go back to the well again and raise taxes again, if that's your answer, your answer's always raising taxes, you're going to make eric cantor, john boehner and the republicans in the house seem like a sane alternative to even bigger government, bigger spending and bigger taxes. it's -- i can't believe they're making the same mistake republicans have made, and that is winning and going too far to the left. >> a balanced approach would have been more, quite frankly, realistic, believable, and you're right, less destructive. >> they're incapable, though, of bein
